and we know that if it was Michigan in it, the articles would all be saying how this great ole bowl game doesn't get any respect, yada, yada, yada!!
Not from the guy who wrote the Sporting News piece. He is the guy who runs the blog EveryDayShouldBeSaturday and is notorious for sharp and pointed criticism. He even does not spare the Gators, his favored team, when circumstances call.
That said, I think the linked piece is not his best effort for that forum. He got the Sporting News gig after his EDSBS site became a huge success (in large part due to Vern Lundquist of CBS making mention of the site during their broadcast of several Gator games this year), but his blog persona really does not transfer well to the more restricted 'real media' arena. Had he wrote on that theme on EDSBS, it would have been even more scathing - and accurate.
